Description

This manual describes how to replace, upgrade, or install a new hard disk drive (HDD) in the DX8100 Series hybrid/digital video recorder (HVR/DVR). Before you install the hard drive, familiarize yourself with the instructions in this manual.

NOTES:

This document describes how to install a new unformatted HDD. Using this procedure for other scenarios might result in data loss.

Installing an internal HDD storage device other than a device obtained from Pelco will immediately void the warranty on the DX8100 HVR/DVR.

The DX8100 allows you to install one system drive (required) and up to three data HDDs. The system drive installation process allocates 15 GB for installing the system software.
